Tearfall Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Hello!So, i have been using uTorrent with great success for that last year - never had a problem, great program.But yesterday i moved to a new appartment - new internet provider.So, this is the information i have gathered:- I appear to be behind some sort of NAT service - (all IP's here are surprisingly alike and they offer a fairly expensive static IP service). We get internet from a certain provider (Danatel), and i am unable to change my ISP. You could probably file this place in the same category as a campus provided internet connections. - Yesterday i was only able to upload (added 2 different files from OpenOffice.org - to test that i was not just using poorly seeded torrents)- Now today i am both downloading and uploading - yet i am still "not connectable" Here for the information requested in the "read this first posts":Tried so far: Changed the port used by utorrent, restarted the application and my computer several times. (Did a whole lot of searching on the forums, but was unable to find anything that seemed like my case).Also confirmed that my firewall settings and windows firewall was correctly setup.Changes made:Changed the port used by utorrent to 34747.Network indicator color:Red - "Not connectable: A firewall/router is limiting........."Port checkerThat the port is closed. net.maw_halfopenThe value appears to be: 8 - i have not changed any advanced settings.OSWindows Vista - just ran the updating service RouterI doubt they will tell me this - yet i am unable to change it, so i doubt it matters ISPDanatel, danish provider.Connection typePresuming its a Cable connection since there is a fair amount of people using it from here - however, i do not have a modem inside my apartment if that is of any help.Speedtesting on 2 different servers: http://www.dslreports.com/im/73627525/6979.pngIf there is anything i forgot - please do tell me and i will do my best to provide it!
Switeck Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 If you're plugging an outside Ethernet connection into your network/computer, I can almost say with certainty that you're connecting to the internet through someone else's router...and it's NOT port forwarded.If uTorrent's UPnP and/or NAT-PMP doesn't auto-forward uTorrent's listening port on that unknown router, then you're essentially permanently firewalled by it.
Tearfall Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Posted June 23, 2009 That is exactly what i am doing. Ah well, ill just have to live with it then. Is there a chance that purchasing a static ip from them might change this at all? It is working, just not very well at the moment. Which is (to say the least) a tad annoying - i guess ill just be doing a loot of seeding then.
Switeck Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 You would have to ask them if a permanent ip means unfirewalled.There's 'extreme' hiding tricks to get better speeds:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=361747#p361747(Note: My post immediately following that one explains what settings in uTorrent are similar to the Azureus ones.)...but such hiding tricks are *NOT* easy to do!Vaguely similar settings in uTorrent:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=58714
Tearfall Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Posted June 23, 2009 Ill try that - thanks a lot for your time man. Lets hope it works
